A driver who ran over a cyclist following an altercation in central Paris has been charged with murder in a case that shocked the capital.
The 52-year-old driver of the SUV is accused of having deliberately targeted the cyclist, who was named as Paul Varry, 27.
According to witnesses, the driver, trying to make progress on the congested road, steered his car onto the adjacent cycling path for about 200 metres (650 feet), where he drove over the cyclist’s foot, prosecutors said.
Varry, the cyclist, banged his fist on the bonnet of the car to alert the driver, who backed up at first. Varry then stood in front of the car expressing his anger at the driver, who started driving towards him.
-_-…
An autopsy showed that Varry’s lethal injuries had been caused by the car.
No joke !
CCTV footage showed the vehicle rising once when the left front tyre rolled over the body, and then again when the back tyre went over.
A test for alcohol and drugs came back negative.
The man’s lawyer, Franck Cohen, told AFP that his client “has no explanation for what happened”.
lol, good defense.
Hey now look at that 👇
A judge will now rule whether he should be held in custody ahead of trial.
-_-
You wanna commit murder ?!
Forget about gun, just by a big shitty car.
Society will forgive you faster.
Fuck cars forever
Thanks to let me know that !
The connection with the murder by firearm was not made on the process but on the greater ease in general for the defense to defend a murderer who committed murder with a car during a trial. And the ease with which one can premeditatedly kill with a car and make it look like an accident.
No problem, downvote anything you want !
